SCHOOL-READY

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Our Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)

Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore
and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations®
Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.

Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)

As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore
their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best
through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and
confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)

At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early
Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our
holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early
education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.

Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)

As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program
enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through
independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math,
science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.

Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)

Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten®
program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With
small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have
all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.

Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)

Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment.
That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and
after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences.
From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.

Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Don’t miss out on KinderCare’s Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting,
educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is
designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs
of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.

Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program

Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning Adventures program: Music
Explorers! Built entirely from scratch, our new program teaches kids to sing, move, listen, play instruments,
and even create their own tunes. It blends math, science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness
(think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love books and words (and get ready
for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program. From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry,
kids learn all about letters and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we have the data to prove it.)

Our Teachers

We're the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn't enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

“

We would like to express our gratitude to the amazing team of professionals you have working at KinderCare in New Tampa. My husband and I first brought our daughter to KinderCare when she about sixteen months old. She had a nanny up to that point. Upon starting at KinderCare we saw her blossom. She started talking, counting and singing nursery rhymes. She made friends and was excited every time I dropped her off. We would like to credit the amazing teachers Ariana encountered daily; especially Ms. Nicole. We could genuinely tell that she cared for our little princess. Every time I would come to pick Ariana up, Ms. Nicole would talk to me and tell me about Ariana's highlights of the day. She made me feel like she truly cared about Ariana even though she only saw her 2-3 times a week.
Right after Ariana started KinderCare, we found out we were expecting another little princess. I knew I wanted to send her to KinderCare as well. Unfortunately, my husband and I were constantly going back and forth because of the price. My husband is a deputy and I am a teacher, so we don't make a lot of money. However, when we decided to start a family, we agreed to give our children the very best that we can. Putting Ariana in KinderCare was pricey, but we managed because she was our only baby. We knew we wanted our second princess, Chloe, at KinderCare as well, but knew I would be working just to put them in KinderCare. As result, my husband and I did not immediately make a decision where we were putting Chloe once I was going back to work. Ms. Nicole made that decision for us. Ariana has been out of school for almost a month when it was her birthday. Out of nowhere, on her birthday, Ms. Nicole called to wish our little princess a happy birthday and asked if we could stop by so she could see Ariana. My husband and I were touched. Never had I heard of a teacher going so far above and beyond. She truly cared about our little princess. When we got there Ariana was thrilled to see her teacher, as well as Ms. Keisha (who has always given Ariana extra attention even though she wasn't in her class yet). That gesture that Ms.Nicole did made us decide right then and there that Chloe was going to KinderCare. After all, my husband and I believe that there is no point to having kids if we can't give them the best. KinderCare is the best. This center has some of the friendliest staff we have met. From Ms.Judy and Ms.Debbie greeting us in the morning to Ms. Priscilla wishing us a great night. Every single employee that we encountered at KinderCare lets us know that they want what is best for our princess. We can't wait for Chloe to start KinderCare with her sister. We are already looking forward to Ms. Tammy (I believe that's Chloe's teachers name) and Ms. Keisha working and loving our princesses.
